What hardware do you use?
I use Linux exclusively on all my systems, and have not had any problems at all. So I always wonder what hardware is being used that does not work...
For my laptops I use Think pads and various Dell systems. The only thing I always try to make sure when buying a laptop though is it is a Intel CPU with integrated inlet GPU -- just doing that and I have never really had any problems.
In any case, I am looking for the exact model you are using that has the problem -- so I can maybe find a cheap one on ebay and mess around with it.
- nogridbag 7y agoI believe Linux does not support the "modern standby" sleep state: S0 which allows PCs to behave like your smartphone. It's probably more of a problem with the hardware manufacturers than Linux, but regardless the end result is that it only works on Windows. For example, my Surface Book, when it's working, resumes instantly.
- v_lisivka 7y agoIt looks like you right: sleeping in S0 is not supported by Linux, only Windows does this: ACPI Sleep States (S0 - S5) •S0: Normal Powered-On state •S1 Standby •S2: Not supported •S3 Suspend to Ram •S4 Suspend to Disk
